Imagine seeing The Destroyer Samoa Joe go head to head with The Viper at the biggest PPV of the year?

Both men are currently performing as heel superstars, but a potential match featuring Joe and Orton is definitely a dream match for wrestling fans all over the world. We have to yet to see these two compete against each other which can be seen as a shock, but it is a blessing at the same time due to the anticipation it could create.

When it comes to the squared-circle, Orton and Joe are very hard hitting and they show no remorse to their opponents. Both men have very similar characters in the fact that they love to destroy, and they have a lust for violence. Joe has always been comfortable on the mic, whereas Orton is in his element when it comes to cutting promos as a heel.

Neither men would even have to switch alignments, as we've seen before with Joe during his feud with Lesnar as both monsters were competing as tweeners, allowing the fans to cheer whoever they want. The wars that Joe and Orton would have in the ring would be nothing short of brilliance.

In 2016, when Joe was speaking to NOLA during an interview whilst being in NXT, he mentioned Randy Orton as he stated "we've kind of run parallel but have never crossed paths. I would definitely love to get in the ring with him and mix it up." Fast forward 3 years later, and both men just happen to be on the same brand. The fact that Joe has always been interested in facing Orton suggests that we may see this match in the future.
